Contextual Overview

¹ Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a great number of cattle: and when they saw that the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead was a good place for cattle; ² The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and said to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to the chiefs of the meeting, ³ Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon, ⁴ The land which the Lord gave into the hands of the children of Israel, is a land for cattle, and your servants have cattle. ⁵ And they said, With your approval, let this land be given to your servants as their heritage: do not take us over Jordan. ⁶ And Moses said to the children of Gad and the children of Reuben, Are your brothers to go to the war, while you take your rest here? ⁷ Why would you take from the children of Israel the desire to go over into the land which the Lord has given them? ⁸ So did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land. ⁹ For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they took from the children of Israel the desire to go into the land which the Lord had given them. ¹⁰ And at that time the Lord was moved to wrath, and made an oath, saying,

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun,.... See Numbers 14:30, whether Caleb or Jephunneh is called the Kenezite is not so easy to determine; the latter rather seems to be most correct, for that Caleb should be called so from Kenaz the father of Othniel, who is said to be Caleb's brother seems not to be agreeable; since it is not likely that they were his own brothers, or Caleb would not have given his daughter to him; besides Jephunneh and not Kenaz is always said to be the father of Caleb, unless his father can be thought to have two names; it is most likely that Jephunneh, and so Caleb, might be called the Kenezite, from an ancestor of theirs of that name: Jarchi says, Caleb was the son-in-law of Kenaz, and Caleb's mother bore unto him Othniel:

for they have wholly followed the Lord; here what was said of Caleb,

Numbers 14:24 is said both of him and Joshua;

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The Kenezite - Kenaz Genesis 36:11 was the name of one of the “dukes of Edom:” but Israel and Edom were of kindred origin, and the use of similar names by the two peoples is not surprising.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Numbers 32:12. Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite — It was Jephunneh that was the Kenezite, and not Caleb. Kenaz was probably the father of Jephunneh.
